This is really bad news for the Jays especially with Encarnacion banged up. Jose Bautista is going to man 1B for now.

(vs. TIGERS, 8/08)

Last night, the Blue Jays blew a 4-0 lead to the Tigers, and lost by a score of 5-4.

The Blue Jays were winning 4-2 with one out and a runner on 2nd base in the top of the 9th inning when closer Casey Janssen gave up back-to-back home runs (3 RBI's) to Nick Castellanos and Eugenio Suarez, which gave the Tigers the lead, 5-4.

Tigers closer Joe Nathan loaded the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, but induced catcher Josh Thole to foul out, closing the door on the Blue Jays.
